Working Principles

The AT24C08-10PC-2.5 is based on EEPROM technology, which allows for electrically erasing and reprogramming of data. It utilizes an I2C interface for communication with the microcontroller or other devices. The chip stores data in non-volatile memory cells, ensuring that the stored information remains intact even when power is removed.

During a write operation, the chip follows a self-timed process where the data is programmed into the memory cells. Reading data from the chip involves sending the appropriate address and receiving the corresponding data through the I2C interface.
